Caitlin McCormack

Backyard III, 2019

Caitlin McCormack is a Philadelphia-based textile artist who works primarily with crocheted cotton thread, which is stiffened with glue and enamel paint. The resultant material is fashioned into a variety of sculptural forms, conveying her thoughts regarding the way memories become distorted with the passing of time. With the addition of vintage fabrics and found items, the works build upon a personal taxonomy of creatures and objects symbolizing McCormack's recollections and experiences, and allow her to explore the intersection of craft and gender, the navigation of trauma, and the relationship between cloth and living, organic forms.
